Ji Ying caught up behind him, swept out a palm, and sent a streak of golden light chasing after Zhang Daohan. Then he, too, swept past Fish Mouth Peak. Ji Ying had never imagined that just as he emerged from the other side of the peak, a square box would descend over him. The murderous intent rushing toward him made his hair stand on end.
Ji Ying brought his palms together, and golden light burst from his body. He no longer held back, as he had when harassing Zhang Daohan. Instead of using one-tenth of his strength, he unleashed every ounce of it. An incomparably surging force instantly crushed the square box and spread outward. But what came down over him was actually several hundred Golden Armored Generals.
Ji Ying had no time to catch his breath. In a flash, he transformed once more into a golden spear. The moment it appeared, the icy gleam at its tip sent the hundreds of Golden Armored Generals flying. Then the golden javelin shot straight toward Zhang Daohan.
Needless to say, the one who had hidden at Fish Mouth Peak to ambush Ji Ying was Xu Yi. Ji Ying's attempt to fool Zhang Daohan had failed not because Zhang Daohan had suddenly come to his senses, but because Xu Yi had sent him a message exposing the ruse. Ji Ying's tricks might have fooled Zhang Daohan while he was distraught, but how could they deceive Xu Yi?
If that old bastard Ji had cared even a little for the Southern Pole Sect, he would never have failed to send word to them. In Ji's eyes, the Southern Pole Sect was nothing more than a stepping-stone, a pair of wings. When he could barely protect himself, he naturally wouldn't bother protecting his wings.
